COG

Creating Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF

Using Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF Files (COG) Examples.¶

We show how to read COG files with the rasterio Library for Python.

We will use the satsearch library for discovering and downloading publicly available satellite imagery using STAC compliant API.

STAC is the SpatioTemporal Assets Catalog specification that provides a common structure for describing and cataloging spatiotemporal assets.

A spatiotemporal asset is any file that represents information about the earth captured in a certain space and time.

Satsearch can take bounding boxes or GeoJSON like Polygon. So let us start with a simple bounding box. We are using the Element48 free Sentinel 2 data STAC API available in Amazon AWS for free, but you can use any public STAC API endpoint.

Example using BoundingBox coordinates.¶

In [46]:

bbox =  [ -111.94381713867186,
           34.36951139880403,
          -112.75680541992188,
           34.838604318634985]  

url = 'https://earth-search.aws.element84.com/v0'

bbox_search = Search(bbox=bbox,  url=url)

print('Query returned {} items'.format(bbox_search.found()))

bbox = [ -111.94381713867186, 34.36951139880403, -112.75680541992188, 34.838604318634985] url = 'https://earth-search.aws.element84.com/v0' bbox_search = Search(bbox=bbox, url=url) print('Query returned {} items'.format(bbox_search.found()))

Query returned 2217 items

You can limit the data with other parameters like dates and cloud coverage. So let us add these parameters to the query, by asking for images between January to February 2021, with less than 5% cloud coverage.

In [47]:

bbox_search = Search(bbox=bbox, datetime="2021-01-01/2021-02-01", 
                     query={'eo:cloud_cover': {'lt': 5}}, url=url)

print('Query returned {} items'.format(bbox_search.found()))

bbox_search = Search(bbox=bbox, datetime="2021-01-01/2021-02-01", query={'eo:cloud_cover': {'lt': 5}}, url=url) print('Query returned {} items'.format(bbox_search.found()))

Query returned 6 items

In the above results we search for the URL addresses for the B04 and B08 Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF bands, that needed for computing the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index).

Then we open and read the specific online COG files with the rasterio library to compute the NDVI.

Case study: Catalina Mountains¶

We can use the tool geoson.io, to generate GeoJSON files for any desired study area. Here a Polygon is shown as the area of study.

We then saved the GeoJSON as map.geoson and uploaded to a Github.com repository, from where we will read the online geojson file.

Will read a GeoJSON file for this polygon, and use Geopandas to extract bounding box coordinates.

In [15]:

import geopandas as gpd

gdf = gpd.read_file('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/clizarraga-UAD7/Datasets/main/map.geoson')
bounds = gdf.bounds
print(bounds['minx'])
boundary = bounds.values.tolist()
print(boundary[0])

bbox search: 4322 items

THere are 4322 available images. We will filter out images between 2020-05-01 and 2020-07-30 with less than 5% of cloud cover.

In [17]:

search = Search(bbox=boundary[0], datetime='2020-05-01/2020-07-30',

bbox search: 148 items

We have a nice set of 148 images that satisfy previous requirements.

In [18]:

items = search.items()

We will work with the COG collection: sentinel-s2-l2a-cogs

bbox search: 49 items

We can analyze the images and select the date with no cloud cover

In [34]:

print(items.summary(['date', 'id', 'eo:cloud_cover']))

items = search.items() print(items.summary(['date', 'id', 'eo:cloud_cover']))

The image from 2020-06-28 (S2A_12SWA_20200628_0_L2A= has 0 cloud cover. This is the 10th. image (start counting from 0)

To compute the NDVI values, we need to download the Red and NIR bands.

print(items[10].asset('red'))
print(items[10].asset('nir'))

print(items[10].asset('red')) print(items[10].asset('nir'))

Now we are able of computing the NDVI value for each pixel in the study region

In [42]:

b4 = rio.open(file_urlB04)
b8 = rio.open(file_urlB08)

red = b4.read()
nir = b8.read()
# Calculate ndvi
ndvi = (nir.astype(float)-red.astype(float))/(nir+red)

b4 = rio.open(file_urlB04) b8 = rio.open(file_urlB08) red = b4.read() nir = b8.read() # Calculate ndvi ndvi = (nir.astype(float)-red.astype(float))/(nir+red)

We can view a thumbnail of any of the bands, we select the Red band.

%matplotlib inline
import rasterio
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
with rasterio.open(file_urlB04) as src:
   # List of overviews from biggest to smallest
   oviews = src.overviews(1)
   # Retrieve the smallest thumbnail
   oview = oviews[-1]
   # NOTE this is using a 'decimated read' (http://rasterio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/resampling.html)
   thumbnail = src.read(1, out_shape=(1, int(src.height // oview), int(src.width // oview)))
plt.imshow(thumbnail)
plt.colorbar()

We can now show the NDVI fo the Catalina Mountains for 2020-06-28.
